Quatre juges se sont retournées aux auditions à l’aveugle, suivis des duels, chants de bataille, quarts de finale, demi-finales, finale; un parcours complet attendait l'artiste originaire de Fort-Coulonge. Pour une première fois dans l’histoire de l’émission, la finale était 100% féminine et l’aventure de Cahill s’est terminée le 18 octobre. Malgré le soutien de la population, l’artiste locale n’a finalement pas pu remporter la dernière étape de la compétition. L’émission lui a donné la chance de travailler aux côtés de talentueux artistes, de Ginette Reno à Tyler Shaw, sans bien sûr oublier qu’elle a pu tout au long de l’aventure compter sur les conseils de son coach, Marc Dupré. Cette expérience lui aura aussi permis de se retrouver sur l’album La Voix chante. Pour Mme Cahill, La Voix était l’occasion de prouver à ses filles qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour accomplir ses rêves.

  • MUSIC Charlotte Cardin ART Jordan Casteel FASHION Lou Dallas
    ART Jordan Casteel Whether perched pensively atop a skateboard or on a folding chair next to a stand of glass- ware, the subjects of Jordan Casteel’s paintings feel preternaturally present. They are almost always black men, and their intimate imme- diacy belies the fact that Casteel, 29, has often just met them while walking through New York, where she lives. She introduces herself, asks them to pose, and takes as many as a hundred photos, which she whittles down to a handful to use as she works. The resulting paintings, as seen most recently in “Nights in Harlem,” her 2017 show at Casey Kaplan gallery, combine Alice Neel’s psychological acuity with August Sander’s sharp eye for quotidian detail. Having garnered attention for exhibitions at the Studio Museum in Harlem and Mass MoCA, the Yale- trained artist is set to have her first museum survey, in February 2019, in her hometown, at the Denver Art Museum. Though her paint- ings are about real people and real life, they are never mere transpositions. The skin of her models sometimes glows green, lavender, or orange, as if bathed in neon—the result of “trying to push the envelope of what it is we think about in terms of a person of color and the range of hues that create one’s skin tone,” Casteel says. andrew russeth Left: Jordan Casteel, wearing a Marni dress and Agmes necklace, in her New York studio with Lavender Embrace, 2018.
